Warren Moon Weighs in on Stefon Diggs' Surprising Patriots Departure

Stefon Diggs’exit from the New England Patriots is sending shockwaves through the NFL, but not for everyone. Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon appears to have predicted this move, remarking that Diggs brings“a lot of baggage”to the field, mixed with a performance that waned towards the end of the last season. While Diggs had a standout year, catching 85 passes for over 1,000 yards, the business side of football prompted the Patriots to cut ties before a hefty $26.5 million hit loomed for the upcoming season.

Moon emphasized that the decision likely comes down to financial flexibility for the Patriots. By parting ways with the veteran receiver, they hope to allocate that cash toward younger and more cost-effective talent at the position. Still, Moon believes Diggs’impressive résumé should attract interest from teams looking to enhance their roster. With the NFL constantly in the headlines, it’s no surprise that this latest development keeps the spotlight firmly on the league as it gears up for the next phase of the offseason.
